Redoux is in Country Living Magazine!!

It’s the 1st Day of Spring, and I can’t think of a better way to celebrate…..

Â I am so pleased to present you with my “new” look and this HUGE announcement, all at the same time!

If you are wondering who designed my blog, it was the amazing, Aimee, at byAimee.com.Â Aimee was a complete joy to work with and I am over the top thrilled with the new look.Â Take a look around after you read this post, there are all kinds of fun new features!

On with the news!Â Do you remember this project?Â THIS IS A DOUBLE FEATURE TODAY!

I was just discovering the fun and versatility of using Wood Pallets in decorating, when it came to me what a great pot hanger it would make on my patio!Â It was an easy, done in a day project.Â You can read the full tutorial HERE.

We have enjoyed this feature in our garden, it fits our laid back style.Â Never did I imagine it would end up on the pages of Country Living Magazine!Â Last February, I received an email from the Art Department at CLM, asking for permission to use this picture in their April issue.Â They neededÂ a new picture “Tout de suite”!Â I was in a panic, the original pictures I had were not fitting their specs.

Could my 15 minutes of fame be passing by before I even had time to count them??Â Non!

Â Could Andy be referring to Moi????

My lucky stars were shining upon me.Â The weather was gorgeous, I was able to “restage” the entire project, and my sweet friend and clientÂ Dana Moran Photography just happened to be stopping by the next day to pick up this piece I did for her:

Dana was gracious enough to take more pictures, emailed them to me in the correct size, and off they went to Country Living.Â Here we are in March, the April issue is on the news stands, and I am featured on p. 57 to be exact.

As luck would amazingly have it….This project is being featured at Roadkill Rescue today as well!!!!!

The clock is ticking, hopefully I am only in the first 30 seconds, but if my “fame” timer ends soon, I will go out a happy girl!

Speaking of fame, this is probably about as close as I will get to Hollywood fame….here are some pics of moi with my sisters on our “LA” trip. We were even invited to sit on the couch at the “Friends” stage!

That’s AWESOME Karen!! I love the idea! That is soooo exciting 🙂 I can’t telll you my project for the contest this week but I’ll give a hint….has to do with pallets! And I am being featured at Roadkill tomorrow for my craft station! One day maybe Country Living. Enjoy your fame…you do amazing work!

YAY!!!! Oh my goodness Karen congratulations!! That is so exciting and we couldn’t be happier for you. That was such an awesome project it is no surprise at all that they came knocking at your door! 🙂 And your blog is looking super awesome my friend!

Congrats! It’s fun to have your name up in lights so to speak 🙂 Just be glad they didn’t put your picture in there! It’s a bit creepy to have people stare at you in the store and say “hey aren’t you…” trust me on this one 🙂

And I really want to use that idea! I wonder if I can grow my herbs in it…

So glad for you, great job, those pallets are sure fun! Can’t imagine being in Country Living esxpecially since I always have that magazine, how exciting for you. Newest lkinky follower, hope to see you visit.
